Under the agreement, the Mayor will sign the legislation as written.

The Mayor must sign it within 30 days of the vote, and will do so, according to a spokesman.

Although the Mayor signed the legislation into law, he lost little time in criticizing it.

Nine days later, the Mayor signed a bill authorizing the new name.

He and the two other council members said they learned on April 22 that the mayor had signed the new emergency protocols 11 days earlier.

By October 2009, 1,000 mayors representing over 86 million residents signed the agreement.

The order, which the mayor signed Wednesday, creates a 15-member panel, including 11 people chosen by neighborhood groups.

Before the hearing yesterday, arts leaders had expected the Mayor to sign the bill, so his hint at a veto took many by surprise.

By July 2007, 600 mayors had signed the agreement.

As of February 2010, 1017 mayors have signed the Agreement.
